El vez - Chicano Elvis impersonator

If you're an Elvis impersonator fan, you've no doubt heard of Elvez - the Mexican Elvis impersonator. Good on impersonaotrs like El Vez and Chinese Elvis (I covred him in an earlier blog). They play on the fact that they're not the stereo-typical Elvis impersonator ansd they do mighty well for themselves!

The crowd was all smiles, and it was easy to see why.

Thanks to Judi Blackwell for this interesting piece.
